  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 
  2. Combine the quinoa, eggs and salt in a medium bowl. 
  3. To a food processor, add herbs and spices, onion, kale and garlic; process until finely minced.  Stir the onion-kale mixture into the quinoa. 
  4. Add feta, whole wheat breadcrumbs and baking powder, stir and let it sit for 5 minutes so the crumbs can absorb the moisture.
  5. Form into two-inch balls, roll in panko crumbs, flatten slightly and arrange on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, turn and bake another 5 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.

Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, these little patties will quickly become a favorite.  Serve them as an appetizer or for lunch over a bed of baby greens, they are even better with a tangy sauce like a Red Pepper or Lemon Aioli.
